Landscape Architect Registrations and Certifications: • Registered Landscape Architect, State of Florida Education: • Bachelor of Landscape Architecture, University of Florida, 1991 Professional Experience: Mr. Haaf, a Registered Landscape Architect, is respon- sible for landscape architecture for both public and private projects throughout South Florida including residential com- munities, municipal parks, recreation facilities, and other public projects such as airports and roadways. Prior to joining the firm, he was a project landscape archi- tect at another Florida multi - disciplinary firm specializing in landscape architecture, ecological and civil engineering services. Relevant Project Experience: • Sandy Ridge Sanctuary - A 38 -acre award - winning environmentally sensitive land (ESL) park site in Coral Springs. The project consists of the design for bicycle and walking trails as well as interpretive signage, picnic and play areas as well as native habitat restoration plantings. A management plan was prepared for the Florida Communities Trust (FCT) that provided approxi- mately $2 million of grant support for this project. • The Preserve - A zero -lot -line community in Coral Springs, developed on a heavily wooded site. Preserva- tion of native plant communities required detailed site planning and earthwork design along with close field coordination of the site and building contractors. • Weston Athletic Park - A 102 -acre sports park in Weston that includes fields for baseball, softball, soccer, bas- ketball and roller hockey. This project required planning of active recreation areas, playgrounds, building facili- ties, parking, as well as pedestrian and vehicular cir- culation. • Increment III Wetland Mitigation - Mitigation design for the final phase of Arvida's residential development in Weston. The design for this project consists of upland and aquatic habitat creation, restoration, and enhancement of a 1,500 acre mitigation area. The design required eradication of nuisance species as well as earthwork, hydraulic and planting design for the 1,500 acres. • Weston Town Center -This 30 -acre mixed -use project includes retail, office, residential and future governmental services. Other key elements for Weston Town Center include a lakefront linear park with band shell and an interactive fountain. The design process for this project included the preparation of Master Design Guidelines for the entire project and all the varied uses. In addition, this pedestrian oriented "soul" of the City of Weston included a highly pedestrian- oriented central retail area with themed landscaping and paving design. The Ridges — This 530 -acre single family residential community in Broward County was designed around the centerpiece of a large recreational area and linear park system. The key elements designed as part of this community included an 11 -acre park with open play areas, swimming facility, picnicking areas and an interactive playground. The linear park was divided into both passive and active uses that culminated at the 11 -acre recreational facility. In addition, large archeological areas were present within the developed area. These archeological sites were turned into interpretive passive recreation areas in order to enhance the sense of identity for the communities and offer insight into the historical significance of these areas. Community theming including signage, play equipment and materials were also within the scope of work for this project.
